Samsung Galaxy Note III confirmed to run Android 4.3. 3,450 mAh battery could be included

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note III has received several DLNA certifications – for three model numbers: SM-N900S, SM-N900L, and SM-N900K. All are confirming that the new Note runs the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (this, of course, should not come as a surprise). You can see the certifications here, here and here (all are PDF files).

The Note III will be officially announced next month, on September 4, as Samsung’s latest flagship Android device. Its features should include an Exynos 5 Octa 5420 processor (although some models will likely use Snapdragon 800 chipsets), LTE-Advanced connectivity, 3GB of RAM, and a 13MP rear camera. The display size could be anywhere between 5.5 inches and 6 inches. In fact, there might be three different versions of the device, each with different screen sizes.

According to Phone Arena and an anonymous source, the new Note will have a 3,450 mAh battery. That’s bigger than the 3,100 mAh battery found on the Note II, and should be enough to power the handset for a day of (hopefully heavy) usage.

Unlike the Note II and the original Note, the Galaxy Note III will have some serious competition – Sony’s 6.4 inch waterproof Xperia Z Ultra is already out in some markets, while HTC’s One Max should be announced pretty soon.
